Dr. Killigan's Clothing Moth Traps, White 20-Pack — Pheromone Sticky Traps, Non-Toxic Closet Protection

Dr. Killigan's Premium Clothing Moth Traps are pheromone-baited sticky traps that capture male clothes moths to interrupt breeding and protect wool, fur, and other natural fibers.

These compact white traps come ready-to-use, combining a species-specific pheromone lure with a high-tack adhesive in a discreet, display-friendly design. They target the two most common fabric pests—Tineola bisselliella (web-spinning clothes moth) and Tinea pellionella (case-bearing clothes moth)—and are intended for monitoring and reducing moth populations in closets, storage boxes, and carpeted areas. The traps are non-toxic and free of loose wafers, making setup quick and tidy.

How do these traps stop clothes moths from damaging my garments?

The traps attract male moths with a synthetic pheromone that mimics the female scent, luring them to the adhesive surface where they become immobilized. By reducing the number of males, the traps help lower mating events and future egg-laying, which reduces new larvae that feed on fabrics. Use traps as part of a broader prevention routine for best results.

• Species-specific pheromone for the two main clothing moths
• Sticky surface captures males before mating can occur
• Place near closets, drawers, and under furniture for monitoring
• Combine with cleaning and targeted treatments for full protection

Where should I place these traps for maximum effectiveness?

Position traps where moths are likely to fly or where garments are stored—inside closets, along baseboards, behind dressers, and in storage boxes. Traps work best when arranged at intervals so they intercept moths moving through an area. Check and replace traps regularly according to visible captures and manufacturer guidance.

• Hang or stand traps in closets and wardrobes
• Set along room perimeters, under beds, and near carpets
• Use multiple traps in large rooms or long closets
• Refresh traps when adhesive fills with insects or dust

Are these traps safe around clothing, children, and pets?

Yes—Dr. Killigan's traps are non-toxic and contain no loose pheromone wafers, reducing mess and exposure risk. The adhesive and lure are enclosed within the trap structure, so there’s minimal chance of transfer to fabrics. However, place traps out of reach of curious children and pets to avoid accidental contact with sticky surfaces.

• 100% non-toxic, no sprays or powders involved
• Adhesive and pheromone contained inside the trap
• Small, discreet design suitable for visible display
• Keep out of direct contact with clothing and hands

How many traps do I need and how often should I replace them?

The 20-trap pack covers multiple closets and rooms or provides long-term monitoring in one area. For heavy infestations, place traps every few feet around high-risk zones; for prevention, 1–3 traps per closet or large garment storage space is typical. Replace traps when they are saturated with insects, dusty, or after several months of use per environmental conditions.

• Use 1–3 traps per average closet; more for large or heavily infested areas
• 20 traps allow rotating placements and seasonal coverage
• Replace when adhesive is full or every 2–6 months as needed
• Combine with inspection, cleaning, and targeted sprays for severe issues

Who is this for: These traps are designed for homeowners, collectors, and anyone who stores natural-fiber items—wool, cashmere, fur, feathered decor, rugs, and carpets—who want a low-effort, non-toxic way to monitor and reduce clothes moth activity. They suit closets, storage boxes, vintage wardrobes, resale shops, and rental properties. For a full pest-management approach, pair the traps with regular laundering, vacuuming, and targeted Dr. Killigan's treatments if needed.
